Scahill split last season between Triple-A Colorado Springs and the parent club, proving to be very hittable at both levels. While Scahill has enjoyed only modest success since transitioning to relief duty to quicken his arrival to the majors, his previous experience as a starter makes him one of the more versatile members of the Rockies’ bullpen. Due to his ability to cover multiple innings, Scahill figures to occupy an unglamorous middle-inning relief role for the Rockies, with much of his work coming in low-leverage situations. In other words, fantasy purgatory.

2013

Scahill was mostly an innings-eater at Triple-A Colorado Springs last season, striking out a career-high 9.4 K/9, but not without giving up an alarming 4.4 BB/9. He did manage to get a callup to the Rockies late in the season and will be angling to break camp this season as a long reliever with the big club. Scahill boasts a mid-90s fastball and a quality sinker, but if he fails to control the strike zone with regularity, he will have little chance at sticking in the majors.
